So I guess you don't have a machine name Shawinigan then.

Naming computers is always fun. My main computer at home is always
"Golem", and if I ever had had the power to name a series of
computers, I was going to name them after famous Canadian maritime

My development machines have always been named after ships that have
been named after something else, just to supply both a theme and an
inside joke. A sad pathetic life perhaps, but there it is. So I'm
writing this on Bohemian, while testing some code on Corinthian, and
pulling email from Assiniboia.
That said, I've always *avoided* ship names associated with major
collisions and fires. So I'll leave Noronic, Hammonic, and
Bavarian for
David. :)
RFC 1178 (http://www.apps.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1178.html) has some good
dos and don'ts for naming a computer, and is a pretty fun read too.
That *has* to be the most interesting RFC it has ever been my pleasure
to read
